So what charging method is faster? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have both a QC car charger and a USB C to USB C charger as well.
I know USB C gives 5v/3A and QC gives variable charging from 9v/1.67A and down (QC 2.0)
Anyone run tests?

the phone lockscreen gives you an estimate on how fast your phone will charge to 100% when it is plugged or on a wireless charger. Less time, faster charger.

If I use my S7 cable with the USB-C adapter, it charges 3 times faster than the adaptive wall charger.

Htc Touch Diamond Wall Charger for SGS

Hi all! I have a htc diamond wall charger. As some of you might know, it plugs to a usb cable. Can anyone tell me if i can plug sgs data cable to the diamond's wall charger and charge the SGS?
Yes, you can. But it probably will only charge at a slower rate @ 500mA. Sometimes, when battery level is very low, 500mA probably won't be enough to start the charging. So, don't leve home without the OEM charger.
Yes, you can. I do this using a miniUSB to microUSB adaptor plug that I keep on the end of a USB-A Male to miniUSB cable.
From memory, the HTC charger is rated at 5.0V @ 1.0A, which is greater than the OEM Galaxy one (700mA I think?). I even use the same microUSB plug with the HTC car charger for the Galaxy.
Yes, the stock HTC charger is probably rated at 1A but SGS is very picky about the charger. Unless the charger is properly terminated, the phone will only use regular USB mode (500ma MAX). You can check which mode your phone is charged as by going to Settings->About Phone->Status->Battery Status. If it says "Charging (AC)", it recognizes the charger as AC charger and can charge at higher current (up to 1A). If it says "Charging (PC USB)", it does not recognize the charger as AC charger and charges at 500mA max mode.
Update: my HTC charger from my AT&T Pure (TD2) shows up as AC charger for my SGS. So, it should operate in full 1Amp mode.

Unable to charge from wall.

Hey guys.
Weird thing I've noticed after updating to ICS, is that now when I plug my phone into the wall it doesn't charge.
USB charging seems to be fine, as does charging it through a usb to wall adapter.
My home charger works, which is 5v 500ma but the chargers at work were 5v 1a and it didn't charge.
I've just found it really odd, and was wondering if anyone knew why as it used to work fine.

Charging and Battery issues

Hello XDA!.
I'm new here, but oh well.
My Galaxy S5, Is having charging issues, comes and goes.
Using the Ampere app I'm measuring the charging speed.
Charging with stock AC Charger - 450mA - USB Charging, It won't charge at full speed 1.8 - 2.0A.
Charging with an Aukey Superspeed charger - 1.8A, Charges fine but sometimes stuck at 450mA USB Speed.
Charging with Anker Powercore 20400mAh . 450mA, USB Speed?.
I've switched between three different batteries, all of them does this, sometimes the phone simply tells me that the battery is dead, and it won't charge. ( Note: Phone won't charge but turns on with cable in).
What can I do?, buy a new phone?
Thanks.

Charging to 80% only (usb pd)

Hey!
So I get this funny little issue when charging with my usb pd charger.
The S10+ only charges to 80% then stops. I have to unplug then plug it back in again to get it to start charging to 100%.
Have no issues with the stock charger (will continue to use that for the time being).
I suspect it has something to do with the battery protection. But I've not got a clue. Any thoughts?
The usb pd wall charger I'm using is a ravpower 36w (max) unit.
